Comment on Considering Homeschool? Here’s a Book List for You! by Becky

A few additions, a correction — it’s Susan Wise BAUER, not Bower — and a suggestion that links to Amazon or Powell’s might be helpful for prospective book buyers : ).

The Rebecca Rupp book I find handier than “Home Learning Year by Year” is “The Complete Home Learning Sourcebook”, even though it badly needs an update after more than 10 years.

The novelist David Guterson’s “Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense”.

And a book that has almost nothing to do with home schooling but everything with the parents’ roles, “Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate.
